Kalwun Community Aged Care

Kalwun Community Care Home Care Packages provide services to help you stay at home as long as possible by providing services that support your assessed needs.

They give you choice and flexibility in the way care and support is provided and are available through Kalwun’s Community Care Service.

There are four levels of Home Care Packages which are designed to give you the care you need now, but can also be changed if your needs increase later.

The types of services you can access under a home care package include, but are not limited to:

• Personal services: assistance with personal activities such as bathing, showering, toileting, dressing and undressing, mobility and communication.
• Nutrition, hydration, meal preparation and diet: assistance with preparing meals, including special diets for health, religious, cultural or other reasons; assistance with using eating utensils and assistance with feeding.
• Continence management: assistance in using continence aids and appliances.
• Mobility and dexterity: providing assistance to be assessed for and acquire and utilise aids.
• Nursing, allied health and other clinical services: speech therapy, podiatry, occupational or physiotherapy services, hearing and vision services. Home care level 1 and 2 packages are not intended to provide comprehensive clinical or health services. Home care level 3 and 4 packages have a greater emphasis on delivering complex care in the home, including more clinical care where needed.
• Transport and personal assistance: assistance with shopping, visiting health practitioners and attending social and wellness activities.
• Management of skin integrity: assistance with bandages, dressings and skin emollients.
